Good thing he didn't get Yandere Ayase. She would not have taken it well.

Spoiler :

Kyousuke: "Sorry, but there's someone else I love."Ayase: <produces kitchen knife> "WHO IS IT? Never mind, I'll kill them all, just to be sure. Then I'll come back for you, and we can watch my favorite movie, Audition."

I felt that the last episode spent too much time wallowing in harem tropes. I know it's meant as a joke, that his life has turned into an ero-game, but it was played straight for so long that it stopped being funny.

It'd be funnier if it became completely self aware too, like the characters making references to the scenario as that specific genre.

Season 2 was great, so I was expecting it to end with a little more of a bang. But the last episode was still nice though. It just seems like something that you would start off with instead of ending with. Maybe there is gonna be another OVA or something.

that was a good last ep to finish off the season, liked seeing the evolution of Kirino, explains a lot. How far have the novels gotten beyond this? is there enough material for a possible 3rd season?

btw, I loved seeing baby kirino going all otaku in front of the TV at manami's house. her face always cracks me up. and her crying on her way back from seeing manami, wanted to give her a hug.

It seems a lot of the best anime series are the ones based on light novels. unlike manga they actually have to have decent script/character/story in order to get an audience, they can't rely just on art like a lot of manga does.

aww, always sad to see a series end, oh well, at least we get to see the whole story in animated form, almost all anime never end up finishing the whole story from the source material. In fact I can probably only think of maybe a dozen at most that ever have completely finished

The OVA episodes are out now. I watched them, and now I feel bad. I will no longer be recommending this series to people.

Spoiler :

Seriously, Kyouske? You just turned down four girls who were all way better than you deserve, just so you can have 2 weeks of "romance" and a fake wedding with your sister, who is a complete bitch. People called you out on how stupid you were being, and you agreed with them, but it's OK because "Incest FTW." More like "Incest WTF."

Maybe this ending is intentionally bad to persuade people to buy the game and create an ending they can live with.

Posted from the good ship Kuroneko, going down with no survivors.

wow, harsh. I wasn't all that happy with the ending either but to be honest I realized a while back that I wouldn't be completely satisfied no matter who he ended up with.

Spoiler :

These last 3 episodes really tugged on my heart strings (mainly the Kuroneko and Manami rejection scenes) and the fact that a series can get you emotionally invested in multiple characters is usually a sign that it's a good one.

As for kyosuke rejecting the other girls for Kirino, he honestly should do that if he loves her. Starting a relationship with one girl when you love another could end up poisoning it down the road. That's basically what ended up happening with Kuroneko.

As for the incest part, I think this series did a better job of carrying the theme than just about any other. Most wincest series usually have 1 dimensional characters who don't really ever change, they love each other from the beginning of the series and end up happily ever after at the end. This series has their relationship evolve over time and at the end they were realistic in that they weren't be able to stay together.

Anyway, while the ending was bittersweet (emphasis on the bitter) and I'm not really happy with it I'm also not disappointed either. I'm just kind of sad it's over.

edit: on a side note, I loved the manami vs Kirino fight in the end, as well as how cold manami was when she took off her glasses. And how she crushed Kyoskue. "What if I tell your father about you two?" Then I wanted to cry when she started crying and begging him, damnit series, stop playing with my heart.
